This\nset also includes the changes necessary to recursively disable any\ndrivers that depend upon the disabled one, e.g. disabling mempool/dpaa\nalso disables net/dpaa and event/dpaa with suitable reasons provided in\nthe output summary at the end of the meson configuration phase.\n\nA number of changes are made to the lib/meson.build file too, in order\nto keep the general logic flow between drivers/meson.build and\nlib/meson.build as similar as possible.\n\nExample of use:\n\n\tmeson -Ddisable_drivers=mempool/dpaa,net/i40e build\n\nBruce Richardson (3):\n  build: align variable names between drivers and libs\n  build: process dependencies before main build check\n  build: support disabling drivers with meson\n\n drivers/meson.build | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------\n lib/meson.build     | 23 +++++++++++++----------\n meson_options.txt   |  2 ++\n 3 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-)"
